I am also not sure if this is needed. However it makes sense to have the
swap file with the same permissions of the original file. Think of a
crash of an editing session of a file that has o+rw set. In that case
and with a restrictive umask of 0077 only the author could restore it,
while currently everybody who is allowed to edit that file can also
recover it.
